Das Bevo Murals

 One of the reasons I wanted to resurrect my blog is to set an example of curiosity and pursuit of knowledge for Lilly, because that's our homeschooling vibe. What is that? Let's find out! Bevo Mill is the structure and Das Bevo is the restaurant/event space/biergarten. It's in our neighborhood, and kids are such a great way to remind yourself of the sights you take for granted going about your daily tasks. I remember coming here for Easter brunch when I was a kid, and how fancy it felt. It did not disappoint on fanciness when we visited! After we ate, she asked me to just sit on the couch with her, soaking it all in.


An interior view of a stylish restaurant, Das Bevo, features vaulted, arched ceilings and detailed tile murals. The foreground displays green leather couches with tufted upholstery atop a patterned Oriental rug with red and blue tones. Behind the couches is a dining area with wooden tables and chairs, set against a large, elaborate mural depicting figures and fowl of classical inspiration. The space is warmly lit, emphasizing ornate details. The interior design elements create a luxurious and inviting atmosphere.


Interior view the Mill Room at Das Bevo dining space featuring a dark wood table surrounded by six ornate, light-wood chairs with circular back designs and white padded seats. Behind the table, a large tile mural depicting classic scene with a winged babies, sheep near a water side and mountain landscape. The room has an arched ceiling and decorative tilework on the walls. The floor is covered in patterned tiles. Wall sconces provide light, and a sign hangs above the mural.

These hand painted ceramic murals are in the Mill Room. They were created at Berlin Porcelain Works in 1890, and we're originally installed at Tony Faust's Oyster House downtown. When Faust's closed in 1916, August Busch, Sr paid $50,000 for the pair! Thanks to the Schuchards for being the current caretakers of this beautiful piece of St Louis history!

You can often find us as vendors at their vendor events, like Galentines, Buses at Bevo, and Holiday Markets, as Peppers Ghost Tales/What a Hell of a Way to Dad
